Title:
grub-efi-amd64 (2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.17) gets stuck upon setup
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Ubuntu messed up grub completely, probably in an update, so one day
the harddrive wasn't bootable anymore. I had to use a rescue usb and
do another grub-install to get it to boot.
But since then, I can't use apt cause grub-efi-amd64 hangs. This was
my interaction:
$ sudo apt install inkscape

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

And there it hung. This is part of the pstree for the offending
process.

The efibootmgr seems to be unkillable as well.
It just adds more of them, though:
─bash(8087)───sudo(3675)───apt(3683)───dpkg(8740)───frontend(8741)───grub-efi-amd64.(8751)───grub-install(8848)─┬─efibootmgr(8869)

So how do I go forward with this?
